To understand how neurons assemble to form functional circuits, it is necessary to obtain a
detailed knowledge of their diversity and to define the developmental specification programs …

The mammalian cerebral cortex represents one of the most recent and astonishing
inventions of nature, responsible of a large diversity of functions that range from sensory …

The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) mediates a variety of complex cognitive functions via its
vast and diverse connections with cortical and subcortical structures. Understanding the …

During neonatal development, sensory cortices generate spontaneous activity patterns
shaped by both sensory experience and intrinsic influences. How these patterns contribute …

The differences in size and function between primate and rodent brains, and the association
of disturbed excitatory/inhibitory balance with many neurodevelopmental disorders highlight …

The first wave of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (firstOPCs) and most GABAergic
interneurons share common embryonic origins. Cortical firstOPCs are thought to be …

First described by Ramon y Cajal as 'short‐axon'cells over a century ago, inhibitory
interneurons in the cerebral cortex make up~ 20–30% of the neuronal milieu. A key feature …

In the mammalian brain, cortical interneurons (INs) are a highly diverse group of cells. A key
neurophysiological question concerns how each class of INs contributes to cortical circuit …

Shared lineage has diverse effects on patterns of neuronal connectivity. In mammalian
cortex, excitatory sister neurons assemble into shared microcircuits. In Drosophila, in …

Modern neuroscientific techniques that specifically manipulate and measure neuronal
activity in behaving animals now allow bridging of the gap from the cellular to the behavioral …
